information for WRITers
Relational Child and Youth Care Practice is committed
to providing equitable and inclusive spaces that promote
and support the global profession of Child and Youth
Care through disseminating the knowledge and experience
of individuals involved in the day-to-day lives of young
people, families and communities. This commitment is
founded upon the belief that all human issues, are
essentially “relational”.
Relational Child &
Youth Care Practice welcomes submission of
manuscripts on all aspects relating to young people,
families and communities. This includes material that
explores the intersectionality of Child and Youth Care
practice and the lived experiences of all who are
engaged in Child and Youth Care practice. Considerations
will also be given to interpersonal dynamics of
professional practice and all submissions that assume a
relational perspective. This might include topics such
as cultural values, ethics, social policy, program
design, supervision, education, training etc. Welcomed
are also submissions that address advocacy, social
justice and reconciliation practices within the diverse
spaces and places of Child and Youth Care. Each issue
may include refereed articles that comply with
acceptable ‘academic’ standards; submissions contributed
by regular and guest columnists; short pieces that
describe particular relational experiences and
reflections; poetry; artwork and photographs.
Material should be submitted by email to
rcycp@press.cyc-net.org in standard word processing
format (eg. .doc, .rtf). Formal articles should
generally not exceed 6000 words in length (excluding
references). Referencing should conform to either APA or
Harvard format. Author-date citations should be used
within the text and a double-spaced reference section
should accompany each article. In all submissions,
authorship details including an abstract of no more than
150 words should be included, as well as a short list of
keywords at the beginning of the article, and a short author bio of about 100 words to
publish at the end of the article. Importantly, authors should
also indicate whether a peer review is required (in
addition to the standard editorial review).
Although no article or submission will be rejected
purely for stylistic reasons, the editors reserve the
right to return any manuscript for additional work.
Authors requiring editorial assistance in this regard
should indicate their request in a covering letter.
Originality of material is the responsibility of the
primary author. Previously published material must be
identified as such and will be published only where the
necessary permission has been granted from the original
source.
Relational Child and Youth Care
Practice may include Peer Reviewed contributions,
stories, case studies, thought pieces, experiential
descriptions and other forms of writing which will not
be peer reviewed. In this way we aim to strike a balance
between the values of Peer Reviewed articles and
experiential voices from the field. This is a unique
approach and one which we feel offers the best of both.
Peer Review is available on request.
Conflicting Interests: authors should declare any
potential conflicts of interest with respect to the
research, authorship, and/or publication of their
article.
Funding: authors should
declare if they have received or not received any
financial support for the research, authorship, and/or
publication of their article.
Article copyright
is jointly held by RCYCP and article author(s), allowing
both the full right to reproduction of the writer's
published article.
